First Full Trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy is Here!

Yesterday we got to share with you some new pics and a teaser for the trailer that would air during Jimmy Kimmel Live in the US. But now we finally have the real deal so take a look!

Wow, what a trailer. As an introduction to Peter Quill this one’s a good ‘un, the winding up of the finger being particularly nice. And it’s awesome to see John C. Reilly and Peter Serafinowicz casting their critical eyes over the Guardians. There’s a tone here unlike the other Marvel movies (“Since his wife and family were killed he’s been on a rampage across the galaxy”) and yet the sense of fun is clearly still there (“What a bunch of A-holes”).

It’s a shame we didn’t hear more from the other Guardians and it’s actually surprising to not get a line from Rocket Racoon or even a single “I am Groot” from, well, Groot. But we’re sure to see some longer trailers further down the line and we can’t wait. Marvel took a big gamble with this one but judging from what we’ve seen already this is going to be a big hit.

Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel and Dave Bautista. It will be released on August 1st of this year. For more on Guardians check out Robert Fretwell’s analysis of the first images
